CFA - Finland For Christmas Anyone?

Just wondering if there is anyone else braving going from cold December UK weather to colder December Finish weather. Would be nice to make contact maybe meet up at the departure lounge as I'm travelling alone.

Myself and my friend Graham will also be joining you on the trip! We're both from North London so not too far for us to travel to the airport. Really looking forward to all the activities, as well as chilling out with a few drinks back at the lodge ( or in an igloo! )

It'll be good to meet.... it's always fun playing spot the fellow travellers at the airport ( I'm betting that Sam will be easy to identify! )

just read my trip code after I posted the last message, and im on a different finnish winter adventure, family based, so dont worry even though we will be staying at the same place, you will not be lumbered daily with 2 surly teenage boys and their wrung spun mother on your nice relaxing "adult only week"

Well thats a good start from me, start a forum thread off then don't reply to anyone! Such an air head at times! Oh well never mind. Nice to meet you all, well sort of. Would be awesome to all meet up before the flight, yes you and your boys too Sam after all we're all going the same place. Besides can't go the Artic without a mass snowball fight! I'm also from London Mark so not far for me niether, how about you Chris how far you got to go?

Anyway gonna dash, I'll keep a more regular eye on this forum. I'm sure we can sort meeting etc.

I'm coming on the Finnish adventure too. Haven't really done any winter sports before so really looking forward to having a go at different things and experiencing somewhere completely different. See you all at the airport!

Welcome aboard. Can't wait to go now, two weeks, does anyone think we will be able to spot each other, psuedo Eskimo's sweating in departures! As for winter activity experience Julie, I've sort of skied/slid/rolled around in the snow before does that count? Had fun on the ski lift though! Will be an amazing experience all round I think. I'm after ice wall climbing, any other takers?

I'm actually going to be moving down to London on the 22nd December as I start a new job in the New Year, so I'll be having a busy week up until I get to the airport. Once there I plan on relaxing at a bar until the flight!

As for the ice wall climbing, you can count me in, never one to turn down a challange and I've been doing a bit of indoor climbing this year so I quite fancy taking on the ice! I've skiied a few times before but not for a couple of years so I'm looking forward to a bit more of that and generally all the activities that we will be doing - especially those well earned post activity beers!

Cool, no pun intended, thats two for ice wall climbing, just need another two and we are off! I'm sure we will get a full house. Yes in deed, work hard during the day and then proper chill after, bring it on it'll be great! Don't fancy your leading up week though, you'll be up for the rest after that lot!

My partner Paul and I are also coming along and looking forward to meeting you all. Like Julie, we haven't really done any winter sports before (and now's the time for us to confess that we're Australian) and we're looking forward to a proper white Christmas.

Lastminute.com! Booked late last week and greatly looking forward to this. Myself and partner (Ally) are making our own way there (from Denmark...but I'm a Geordie and she's US/French!) so will likely have the bar stools taken before you guys arrive ;-)

Never skied in ages so this will be interesting. We'll likely have a go at the ice wall also. Looks like we'll have a good crowd so we are looking forward to meeting up with you all on site.

Well I'm obviously a lot less organised than you lot as I have only just found this site with a day and half before departure! We are a family of 5 (gulp, I hear you say) with boys of 14 and 11 and a very ungirly daughter of 9. We've skied a lot but the rest is new to us and I am wondering what to pack!
